If you are thinking of moving to pixels anytime soon, you will need a workhorse of a computer to generate the show. Also skip the MP3 if you are going this route - can't handle it.

The weather has not been kind this year, so setting up & tweaking the show took so long, I just got around to making a video. Rather than a dozen videos, I opted for 1 video of the entire show (about 29min). I did edit out "Little Drummer Boy" due to file size. I was up too late last night & now see I didn't upload the final edited version. The last few songs are out of order, but enjoy and please comment - even critically - I may not like all of the comments, but if I blew something in a big way, I do want to fix it for next year. Embedding within my website wasn't working las

I use old C9 strings and pop the unused sockets off or seal with hot glue or caulk. I have strings done all 3 ways for several years now. However the CDI strobes will not be as bright after the 1st year. They don't loose much, but when set next to a new bulb there is an obvious difference.

Just added to my tree farm: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/24-Inch-Pathway-Tree-Set-of-4/1041428122?categoryId=12800 With coupons, my wife picked up several of these for half the listed price.

Noma Digital Instant Light Show Controller
Tim Bateson replied to stonbri's topic in Computerized Displays
I bought & sold a ton of these on eBay a couple years ago. I could buy them at Garden Ridge for $40 and sold on eBay for $100+. Still have a couple, but they are being saved for my kids who are now getting into this wild hobby. -
What are the image specifications to get Nutcracker to properly display images?

This was my solution - Used re-bar and zip-tied the bottom hoop to them. So-far this seems to be working good. We'll see how it goes this season.

2nd this. Lasted about a week, some just a day or so. Had to cut the sockets back to make them fit. I'll try those Costco LED lights someone mentioned.

This is what I do - Looking for something that works better.

That may not be all bad. I won't use pavers - kills the grass, but I can make a bottom T that can be pined down. I like the idea, but will have to think about it for a bit to see if it will measure up. Thanks.

I use gray PVC pipe for my bottom hoop to connect the Mega Tree lights. The hoop is 2 foot or so off the ground resting on re-bar. Problem - With the tension of the lights, the hoop whats to lift up. In past years I've sunk anchors around and tied it off but am looking for a better solution. I also don't want to do away with the hoop & anchor the lights directly to the ground.

Who Sells The Garage Door Covers?
Tim Bateson replied to Dale W's topic in Storage. Where do you put all the stuff?
I bought 1 for Halloween & 1 for Christmas. This will be their 2nd year. Great crowd pleaser & looks great - Click on my website below to see for yourself. BUT..... Do NOT remove when temps are cold!!!!!!!!!! They will crack. -
Bellagio Poles, Firesticks, Vu Meters, Light Jets?
Tim Bateson replied to bigguy's topic in Arches of Lights
This year, I converted my 5 channel arches, by taking the sleeves off the PVC & sliding down over re-bar pounded into the ground.
